"C.J."
Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother passed away at age 58 in her sleep at her West Jordan home on Monday morning, August 6, 2007.
Carol was born in Caldwell, Idaho to her proud parents, Edward and Lureta Simpson on June 25, 1949.
She was the youngest daughter of 11 brothers and sisters, who all survive her. At age 22, while living in Fairbanks, AK, she met Louis Wendell Gillman and soon married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on June 9, 1971.
They raised their 5 children; Matthew, Adam (Jodi), Joshua (Heidi), Jonathan and Stephanie and 5 grandchildren; Blake, Madison, Kerigan, Kaiden and Gracie.
The things she loved most are her Savior and helping her family. She spent her life humbly serving her Heavenly Father. For the past 20 years did so in pain and physical suffering, but to talk with her you would never know because of her desire for joy. The most important desire of her life for her and her family is to return to our Heavenly Father.
She was an example for all who survive her.
There is a celebration of her return home on Friday, August 10, 2007 from 6-8 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway (10600 So.). Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 11, 2007 at the Heritage 10th Ward 7645 So. 3200 W. with a viewing at 10:00 a.m. Interment at the West Jordan City Cemetery.
